by Google x The New York Times
Google Lens partnered with The New York Times Magazine to integrate Lens capabilities into every cover and multiple ads throughout 2020, aiming to enhance reader engagement and educate about emerging technology. Amidst social justice movements in the US, Google Lens used this platform to support Black and LGBTQ+ rights by creating immersive, educational ads. These dynamic animations brought to life stories of marginalized communities, fostering surprise and education among a culturally-engaged audience. The initiative significantly increased product awareness and brand perception, with a 62% lift in familiarity and positive sentiment across all demographics, demonstrating strong engagement and adoption of Lens technology.
